Explanation: nuclear fusion, process by which nuclear reactions between light elements form heavier
elements

91. The world has theleast amount of which of the following fuel (Bloom level- U) (1M)
A. Oil
B. Coal
C. Urenium
D. there are roughly equal amounts of each of these fuels
Answer: A
Explanation:Oil is not at all in abundance. The approximation says that oil will not be available after 2060 if we keep on
using the oil in such manner.

92. Area Z represents (Bloom level- A) (1M)

A. Coal
B. Solar
C. Nuclear
D. Oil
Answer: B
Explanation: A solar constant is a measurement of the solar electromagnetic radiation available in a meter

93. Burning of which of thefollowing fuels produces the least amount of carbon dioxide per unit of energy?
(Bloom level- R) (1M)
A. Coal
B. Oil
C. natural gas
D. all of these producethe same amount of carbon dioxide.
Answer: C
Explanation:Natural gas is primarily methane (CH 4), which has a higher energy content compared to other
fuels, and thus, it has lower CO2 emissions relative to its energy content.

A. combustion of atoms of U 235
B. fission of atoms of U 235
C. fusion of atomsof U 235
D. the breaking ofU 235 bonds
Answer: B
Explanation: the nucleus, the core of atoms, made up of protons and neutrons.

95. Solar energy storedin material such as wood, grain, sugar,and municipal waste is called
(Bloom level- A)(1M)
A. fossil fuels
B. Biomass
C. geothermalenergy
D. natural gas
Answer: B
Explanation: because plants absorb energy from the sun through the process of photosynthesis .

96. Which of the following energysources does not produce carbon dioxide? (Bloom level- U) (1M)
A. Oil
B. Uranium
C. Coal
D. natural gas
Answer: B
Explanation: Nuclear power is a low-carbon source of energy, because unlike coal, oil or gas power
plants, nuclear power plants practically do not produce CO2 during their operation.

A. Solar
B. Geothermal
C. hydro electrical
D. Nuclear
Answer: B
Explanation:the energy produced when heated groundwater is tapped by wells and used to generate
electricity.

99. The world faces an energy crisis because (Bloom level- U) (1M)
A. world demand for energy will increase
B. world oil production will peakand begin to decline
C. hortages and the resulting escalationof prices can shockthe economic and political order
D. All of the above
Answer: D
Explanation: The energy crisis is a result of many different strains on our natural resources, not just one.
